Tournament History Thru 2020.Pdf Seventy-sixth state tournament played in 2020 Although the first state hockey tournament was not conducted until 1945, high school hockey was played in approximately 25 schools in the 1930s. Most of the schools were in the northern part of the state and in the Twin Cities area. Inter-school games were very limited in number, and coaching was done in most schools by male faculty members who had hockey experience or by individuals in the community who had a special interest and training in the sport. The state hockey tournament was conceived by the late Gene Aldrich, St. Paul athletic director who thought it was time for an event of its kind because St. Paul was drawing many fans for its games. With the enthusiastic approval of the Minnesota State High School League Board of Directors and backing for expenses from the late Elmer Englebert, Aldrich went ahead with planning the details for the first tournament. The event produced sufficient revenue to pay expenses and leave a modest balance. In 1945 the Minnesota State High School League, in cooperation with interested citizens in St. Paul, offered the schools an opportunity to participate in the first State High School Hockey Tournament. It marked the very first state-sponsored high school hockey tournament in the United States. There were 26 high schools registered for the sport at the time and Eveleth’s Golden Bears went home with the first of its five state championships. The first field - including Thief River Falls, White Bear Lake, St. Cloud, Staples, Rochester, St. Paul Washington, and Granite Falls - played before a total of 8,434 spectators. The first-round games during the initial tournament produced many lopsided scores, but the championship affair between Eveleth and Thief River Falls (Eveleth won 4-3) was a fine exhibition of skills and abilities which today are expected of Minnesota high school hockey players. The first tournament proved the merits of this activity for high school competition, and the next year the Minnesota State High School League took full control of the tournament series and assumed complete responsibility for its finances. By 1947, attendance had more than doubled. It reached the 30,000 plateau in 1956, topped 40,000 in 1961, and leveled off at the three-day auditorium capacity of 46,000 its last three years in the St. Paul Auditorium. For 23 years the tournament was conducted in the Auditorium before leaving in 1969 for the more spacious Met Center in Bloomington. At the bigger Met Center, attendance nearly doubled. In 1976 the Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament returned to the city where it had been groomed 31 years earlier. The tournament site became the St. Paul Civic Center Arena, a sports venue with a 15,706 seating capacity for hockey and which was adjacent to the Auditorium where the tournament was nursed through its infancy. The event returned to St. Paul as the biggest high school hockey tournament in the nation. In 1985 an all-time attendance mark of 103,096 was established at the St. Paul Civic Center Arena. From this meager beginning, high school hockey has grown in programs throughout the state by leaps and bounds. There were 146 high school teams which participated during 1993-94. The rapid development of indoor facilities, improved coaching in schools, and development of youth programs have all been contributing factors. In 1992 the first two-tier Minnesota State High School Tournament was conducted. Following the recommendations of the state’s high school hockey coaches association, the Minnesota State High School League Board of Directors established a two-year experiment of conducting the hockey tournament in two tiers. Instead of dividing the participating schools based on enrollment, as is the case with all other activities, the coaches suggested the division be based on performance and ability. Thus, following the regular season, coaches in each section ranked all the teams based on their season performance. The top-eight teams were placed in Tier I to play off to send a representative to the state tournament. The remaining teams then played off to determine the Tier II representative to the tournament. The expansion of the tournament required an additional day of playing time, so the Tier II teams played their quarterfinal games at the St. Paul Civic Center on Wednesday. The Tier I teams played their quarterfinals on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, the Tier II tournament concluded its schedule at Target Center in Minneapolis. It was the first time hockey had been played at the arena which is home to the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves. The Tier I tournament was concluded at the Civic Center. In 1994, the tournament was reformatted once again. The League’s Board of Directors chose to classify participating schools by enrollment, as it is for every other activity, instead of by performance. The change was reviewed and extended after a two-year experiment. More than 23,000 fans paid to watch the Class A schools, while nearly 83,000 fans paid to watch the Class AA schools. In 1999 and 2000 the championship round games for both classes were played at Target Center. In 2001 the tournament returned to St. Paul and the new Xcel Energy Center, which is the home of the Minnesota Wild NHL hockey team. The new arena has a seating capacity of 18,539. In 2008, a new attendance record was set when 129,643 fans attended the four-day tournament. .

  • The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - Updated April 9, 2006
    The Moody Blues Tour / Set List Project - updated April 9, 2006 compiled by Linda Bangert Please send any additions or corrections to Linda Bangert ([email protected]) and notice of any broken links to Neil Ottenstein ([email protected]). This listing of tour dates, set lists, opening acts, additional musicians was derived from many sources, as noted on each file. Of particular help were "Higher and Higher" magazine and their website at www.moodies- magazine.com and the Moody Blues Official Fan Club (OFC) Newsletters. For a complete listing of people who contributed, click here. Particular thanks go to Neil Ottenstein, who hosts these pages, and to Bob Hardy, who helped me get these pages converted to html. One-off live performances, either of the band as a whole or of individual members, are not included in this listing, but generally can be found in the Moody Blues FAQ in Section 8.7 - What guest appearances have the band members made on albums, television, concerts, music videos or print media? under the sub-headings of "Visual Appearances" or "Charity Appearances". The current version of the FAQ can be found at www.toadmail.com/~notten/FAQ-TOC.htm I've construed "additional musicians" to be those who played on stage in addition to the members of the Moody Blues. Although Patrick Moraz was legally determined to be a contract player, and not a member of the Moody Blues, I have omitted him from the listing of additional musicians for brevity. Moraz toured with the Moody Blues from 1978 through 1990. From 1965-1966 The Moody Blues were Denny Laine, Clint Warwick, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Graeme Edge, although Warwick left the band sometime in 1966 and was briefly replaced with Rod Clarke.

  • Twins Stadium Financing
    AUGUST13,1997VOLUME12,NO.I X Money Matters A Publication of the Minnesota House Fiscal Analysis Department on Government Finance Issues Twins Stadium Financing Abstract: This article examines the cost of the proposed new stadium for the Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball franchise and possible sources of financing for the new stadium. The Twins’ estimate of the cost of the new stadium, including land acquisition and one-time costs associated with debt financing, is $506.1 million. If $431.1 million of that cost were financed through the issuance of 30-year taxable bonds bearing 7.5 percent interest, the annual debt service obligation would be $36.5 million. Increasing “up front” funding or decreasing the cost of the stadium would decrease the annual debt service obligation. Possible sources of revenues to fund the annual debt service obligation include revenues that the team owners would receive from the new stadium, a ticket surcharge, lottery proceeds, new taxes, and net revenues from casino gaming. Introduction The Minnesota Twins Major League Baseball franchise moved from Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington to the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis for the start of the 1982 baseball season. The Metrodome, like the now- demolished Metropolitan Stadium and the Met Center hockey arena, is owned by the Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission, a statutorily-created public organization. In addition to the Twins, the Minnesota Vikings National Football League (“NFL”) franchise and the University of Minnesota also have leases for the Metrodome. The Twins franchise now is owned by the Pohlad family. The Pohlads claim that they have been subsidizing the Twins’ operating losses over the last several seasons.
